1985 Buick Skyhawk Base 1.8L Gasoline from North America

Summary:

Faults:

After we put synthetic oil in it it sort of killed it. It burned oil, it blew oil around, it wend BAM BAM BAM! when you put your foot down on the pedal.

I didn't have it long enough to remember the mileage, or anything else that went wrong.

General Comments:

The car was boxy, but the interior was nice. Parts were easy to come by. (All the J-Cars had interchangeable parts, as they only had slightly different styling and engines.)

The Last J-Series car was a 1989 Cavalier. all three cars (there was also a Pontiac Sunbird that really didn't know what year it was, and what it was called.) have shared parts throughout the ownerships.

General Comments:

This car has had just a few problems, mostly minor, and has been such a great car. It's overall appearance is very fluid with clean lines and sharp attention to detail. I've had people actually stop to comment on just how nice it looks.

The interior is laid out very nice, with plenty of room in the back seat. The material has kept in pretty good shape.

This car just needs an owner that is willing to help it achieve the goal of being the best little automobile that it can be. Attention to detail will make this the sharpest car you've ever owned.

You like to go fast? You're certainly not doing it in a Skyhawk. 90 horsepower, slushbox 3 speed auto tranny and 2300+ lbs of weight guarantee you will not be beating anything other than a diesel Chevette with your car.
